Abstract
The aim of this paper is to do a brief reflection on the historical development of theological epistemology in Brazil, with emphasis on Catholic theology, according to the changes occurring in the conditions of the production of scientific knowledge since the Modernity, above all, with the emergence of the Sciences of Religion. This proposal intends to situate this epistemological debate pointing out some historical facts of greater relevance in order to capture as main trends. Thus, it intends to present how the interdisciplinary character of Theology in Brazil, inside the Area of Science of Religion and Theology was developed, as a sui generis case, a cooperative pathway and a shared perspective between the two areas of knowledge.
